The LEICA MP 0.72, silver chrome finish (10301) is the epitome of a classic 35 mm film rangefinder — a beautifully engineered mechanical camera that brings timeless photographic craftsmanship to the hands of discerning shooters. Built for photographers who value total creative control, this camera combines Leica’s storied mechanical excellence with a precise TTL meter and an elegant minimalist design.
Based on the legendary Leica M platform, this camera features a fully mechanical shutter with speeds from 1 second to 1/1000 second and a “B” (Bulb) mode for long exposures, offering perfect reliability without reliance on complex electronics. The TTL (through‑the‑lens) CdS metering system provides accurate light readings, enabling confident exposure decisions while retaining the tactile feel and simplicity of mechanical photography.
The optical rangefinder with 0.72× magnification strikes a comfortable balance, making it easy to work with wide‑angle, standard, and moderate telephoto Leica M lenses. The traditional manual focusing and rangefinder coupling offer an immersive and thoughtful shooting experience that draws the photographer closer to the moment and the craft.
Encased in a sophisticated silver chrome finish, the Leica MP 0.72 exudes both durability and refined style. Its mechanical nature means no batteries are needed for basic operation — everything essential to image creation rests within the camera’s finely tuned mechanics.
The Leica MP 0.72 is a perfect instrument for lovers of classic film photography, built to withstand decades of use while delivering an authentic, intentional creative experience. It is a true testament to the enduring spirit of analog image‑making.
